Ignition delay experiments of 3-carene, a biofuel, have been carried out in a single-pulse shock tube for three equivalence ratios, 0.5, 1 and 2. The temperature was varied from 1140 to 1606 K. In the above-mentioned conditions, ignition delay was found to vary from 1.180 ms to 144 μs. The ignition delay values of 3-carene were found to be lower than those of JP-10, a kerosene-based fuel being considered for hypersonic applications.Keywords

Tamil is an ancient language that has been around for several millennia. Several philosophers have written poetry, which is ancient, but its content remains applicable for all times. One such poem was written by Kanian- Poongundranaar during the Tamil Sangam period (Tamil Sangam is comparable to Academic Societies today), which started around 300 BC (https://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Sangam_period; accessed on 26 January 2017).Full Text

Almost everything about India predates India, as the country has been around for several millennia; nevertheless, it got independence from the British colonizers in 1947! Science in India is several millennia old as well with Aryabhatta (the scientist) and Ayurveda (medicinal science) predating by many centuries, the modern science that engulfed the world in the second millennia. Any critical analysis of science in India should ask the following question: If India had invented zero and Indian mathematicians had discovered calculus before Newton, why didn’t India progress the way the Europe did after Newton’s contributions in science? One can go on blaming the Mughals and British for all the ills we face. For a commoner in me, no one can fool you for long without your permission.Full Text

If one were to select a single most important discovery of science, the atomic hypothesis, i.e. that all things are made of atoms, would be a strong contender. Hindu and Greek philosophers have discussed atoms for long as a fundamental unit. However, their ancient science divided everything into five elements (panchabutha): earth (solid), water (liquid), fire, air (gas) and space (vacuum).Full Text
